Chapter 812 A Surprising and Unpredictable Countermeasure
Lingyu said, "Sister, I haven't been in the capital of Daze Kingdom for long. I don't know Qiao Lian'er very well yet, so I don't have any ideas on how to deal with her."
"Anyway, we're already here, so we have plenty of time to play with her. Everyone has weaknesses and things they're afraid of. I don't believe she's really as amazing and difficult to deal with as the rumors say."
Princess Hefeng said gently, "Lingyu, you've worked so hard lately. You should rest and recover. Leave everything else to me."
Lingyu had spent these past few days in fear and anxiety, and it had truly taken a toll on her mental and physical well-being. She had no energy left to cause any more trouble, and her face was filled with gratitude.
“Sister, from childhood to adulthood, I have always stolen the limelight, and sometimes I even tried to compete with you. I thought you held a grudge against me, but I never expected you to be so kind and generous.”
“You are my own sister, of course it’s different.” Princess Hefeng smiled.
Qiao Lian'er observed that Princess Hefeng's smile seemed to hide something, as if it were hypocrisy or insincerity.
They didn't get any useful information on this trip, but they were certain that the two of them were staying here to deal with her.
She wanted to see what tricks these two princesses from pirate kingdoms could pull.
Qiao Zhizhi and her husband brought their twins to the Qiao family home for a gathering with everyone. Also present were Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin. The men drank tea in the living room, while the women chatted and laughed in the warm pavilion, creating a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.
These days, the Lin family is immersed in great joy and excitement, and they are visiting the Qiao family more often.
Some people didn't believe that Lin Songyan had really cured the deficiency, and harbored some filthy thoughts, wanting to see him make a fool of himself. But when they saw the twins, the boy looked almost exactly like Lin Songyan, and the girl's nose and forehead also resembled his, which was solid proof. Now they had nothing to say.
For the Lin family, it was Qiao Lian'er who cured Lin Songyan's hidden illness, and then a pair of twins arrived. They were extremely grateful to the Princess Zhenguo. Qiao Zhizhi also became a great contributor to the Lin family. Most of the congratulatory gifts given to the Lin family by the noble families ended up in Qiao Zhizhi's room.
On this trip to the Qiao family, the Lin family prepared another gift, a carriage full of gifts, which they couldn't dissuade them from doing.
“The girl’s name is Yan Zhao, which I chose. The boy’s name is Chuan Yi, which Song Yan chose,” Qiao Zhizhi said.
Then I explained to everyone how to write it.
“It’s a good name, but it’s not good for girls to always have names that include flowers and plants; it’s a bit narrow-minded,” said Ms. Feng.
"Yes, just like the daughters of our Qiao family. They are all accomplished. Xi'er and Yin'er are both proprietresses of large shops, Zhizhi is a great painter, Rong'er is a general, and Lian'er goes without saying. Daughters can also have bright and promising futures and their own careers," said Old Madam Qiao.
Logically speaking, Qiao Zhizhi should still be in her postpartum confinement period at this time. Moreover, she had gone through a difficult childbirth and was greatly weakened, so she needed to rest even more. However, she looked to be in good spirits and seemed no different from usual.
Everyone said that Qiao Zhizhi's recovery was amazing, that she was a lucky person with a rare constitution. The Qiao family and the Lin family both knew this without saying that it was because of Lian'er, but everyone tacitly avoided mentioning it.
Qiao Zhizhi not only stayed in the modern medical space for a full month, but also drank several cups of spiritual spring water every day, and the wound on her stomach almost disappeared.
Thinking back on all the malicious doubts and speculations she had faced since marrying into the Lin family a year ago, they all vanished after the birth of the twins, replaced by envy and jealousy. She couldn't help but feel a little sentimental, realizing how unpredictable life can be.
But no matter what the circumstances, they could not change her will.
A few days later, Qiao Zhizhi's Qing Teng Painting Academy, which had been closed for two months, reopened.
During her pregnancy and recovery, she was actually a little anxious. Although the Lin family had plenty of servants to take care of the child, she only cared about living a life of luxury and being a good third young mistress.
However, a sense of meaninglessness was eroding her spirit, and she needed to rediscover her hobbies and achievements to find her value.
"Ms. Qiao just gave birth to twins and she's already teaching classes. She looks just like usual. Her physique is amazing."
"Yes, no wonder they have the energy to train to such a level. This is something we simply cannot do and can only envy."
The students were discussing it.
Lin Songyan initially disagreed. Although his wife seemed to be fine, he still wanted her to rest for a few more days.
He stood in the back garden of the classroom, watching his wife paint on the canvas. Her face was calm and peaceful, the sunlight outlining the profile of her face. She was focused and at ease, as if a sense of satisfaction was overflowing from her heart.
A gentle smile appeared on Lin Songyan's lips; as long as she was happy.
A woman stood outside the classroom, disguised with a human skin mask on her face, giving her an unnatural, pseudo-human appearance.
Qiao Zhizhi was completely unaffected. Even if she hadn't heard those curses, and even if Qiao Lian'er had taken timely precautions, she would still have needed to rest for several months after giving birth to twins, which would have been difficult.
However, Qiao Zhizhi had a rosy complexion, was full of energy, and had no difficulty moving around.
Lingyu felt that this matter was too strange, and she couldn't help but think of Qiao Lian'er.
Could it be that Qiao Lian'er did something? To reverse someone's extremely weak state in just a few days, she would have to be a god.
According to popular legend, Princess Zhenguo was a reincarnation of a god or Buddha, possessing extraordinary talents, knowledge of divination and esoteric arts, and the most advanced medical skills, capable of bringing the dead back to life and restoring flesh to bones.
Princess Lingyu felt a chill run through her body, and her scalp tingled.
She immediately dismissed these thoughts; Qiao Lian'er was just flesh and blood, how could she be so magical?
As she had expected, the defenses of the Donghai government office were as formidable as she had imagined; Qiao Zhizhi was merely blessed with exceptional physical and innate talents.
When she returned, still feeling uneasy, Princess Hefeng seemed to have been waiting for her all along, a smug look on her face.
In her hands was a large stack of documents, which she must have just finished reading.
Princess Hefeng put all the documents into the brazier, and a big fire broke out.
"Sister, what are these things?"
"All information about Qiao Lian'er, and all the relationships around her."
"But I haven't seen it yet—"
"Lingyu, you haven't fully recovered yet, so you don't need to worry about that," Princess Hefeng said.
Princess Lingyu frowned, clearly displeased.
A number of her people were captured, leaving her with no one else to use. Yeli also returned to the country with the fake Lingyu. Now, the only people she can use are Princess Hefeng's men, which puts her in a very passive position.
“I have thought of a way to deal with Qiao Lian’er,” Princess He Feng said. “It can be described as an unconventional approach that will catch her off guard.”
